New ideas for decorating your home
At the autumn 2019 Habitare fair, Siparila panels have been used to conjure up some wonderful new ideas for home decoration. Wood can be used as a natural border to other furnishings or as individual eye-catchers and effects. Wood can now look like wood and bring nature into the interior in a tangible way.
Responsible choices
Avotakka's trade fair decoration emphasises sustainability. The stand, designed by Petri Salmela of Dog Design, features wood as part of a fascinating layered interior design style. The material choices for the stand are made with an eye to interior design that emphasises long-lasting and durable purchases. Wood has been used as bold accent walls and calm frames for the rest of the interior.
Designed by Kari Lappalainen with KOO4 interior panels, the kitchen area invites you to read the morning paper and relax after a day's work. The birch interior panel comes into its own as a counterpart to the deep blue wall and gives you the opportunity to tune the interior according to trends that change over time.
The PALA panel, created by Janne Tyynismaa, gives imagination a chance to fly. Petri Salmela has created an effect wall from the PALA panel that captures the eye. The adhesive-attached panel is quick to decorate and the direction of installation can be easily changed. The PALA panel is made of birch and in the design, part of the panel is painted in a light brown colour.
At Habitare this year, you can also marvel at the new PLATTA facade. PLATTA panels are 265 mm wide and available in three different lengths, allowing for the construction of multifunctional facades. So if you want to clad your façade in wood, but are looking for something new, PLATTA is definitely worth checking out.
Stop by the sales stands to admire the VALO panel. Designed by Heli Mäkiranta, the beautifully simple surface of the VALO panel creates the impression of a plain interior. The open seams between the panels can be fitted with an LED strip to hide the lights as part of your home decor. The shape of the panel is concealed and the nail heads do not interfere with the overall effect.
Warmest brown
In the Asun magazine section, warm brown frames the interior design of the different spaces. Designed by editor-in-chief Ulla Koskinen, the shade emphasises the naturalness of wood and adds contrast to the walls of the home. Dark brown works well as a backdrop for colourful furniture, but also gives space to black furniture and natural wood.
A collaboration between Siparila and Ristomatti Ratia, the VIRE panel adds elegance when mounted vertically. Even from a distance, the warm brown shade invites you to stop and relax for a moment. The three-dimensional surface of the VIRE panel allows light to play on its surface and change shape depending on the viewing direction.
Warm brown also works well on the surface of the KOO2 panel designed by Kari Lappalainen. The three different shapes of the KOO panel family can also be combined naturally on the same wall surface to create a rhythmic effect.
Light, crisp birch is still IN. With KOO2, birch comes into its own thanks to the minimalist design of the panel. The properties of birch make it ideal for dry interiors as well as for sauna and washroom ceilings.
Boldly combine wood with other interior materials
At the HabitareMaterials exhibition curated by Nemo Architects, you can combine wood panels with other materials. In addition to wood, the range of materials includes interior tiles and glass.
Attention should also be paid to the storage of small samples of material. The table, designed by Jussi and Maria Laine and made of VIRE and KOO panels, has interesting details depending on the angle of view.
